POETRY. The Author of the following Lines is animated by such a genuine spirit of poetry that we are persuad ed they will afford a high gratification 'to: ever) , sealer of taste and feeling. We heartily'doneuVitn all that is said of the wisest and rritiit virtuous ..Statesman whotp, the world ever kneW, as well as of out great Naval Hero, and however differently We may estimate the chargter and talents of Mr. Fox, we deem it an a& of justice to the 'authoir to give the following passages entire. "'OUT/MY LINES TO THE MEMORY OP FITT, FOX, AND NELSON, FROM " MAMMON; A TALE OF FLOD DIN FIELD :" WHICH IS ON THE EVE OF PUBLI CATION, WRITTS)I $Y WALTER SCOTT, $l2• To mute and to matert.l things New life revolving summer brings; The genial call dead Nature hears, And in her glory re-appears. But, oh ! my Country's wint'ry state What second spring shall renovate P What powerful call shall bid arise The buried warlike, and the wise? The mind, that thought for Britain's weal ? The hand, that grasp'd the victor steel ? The vernal sun new life bestows yven on the meanest flower that Moth; tut vainly, vainly, may he shine, 'Where t;lory weeps o'er N E LE 0 N's ellsrine And vainly pierce the solemn gloom That shrouds, 0 PITT, thy hallowed tomb. peep graved in every British heart, 0 never let those names depart ! Say to Your sons--Lo, here his grave, Who vielor died on Cadite wave . ; To him, as to the burning levin, Short, bright, resistless course was given; Where'er his country's fiks were found, Was heard the fated thunder's sound, Till burst the bolt on yonder shore, Bulled, blazed, destroyed. - -and was no more. Nor mourn ye less his perished wer:h r Who bade the conqueror go forth, And launched that thunderbolt of war On Egypt , Haruki, * Tr a falgar ; Copenhagen. Who, borWto guide such high ernprize, for Britain's weal was early wise ; Alas I to whom the Almighty gave, IPor Britain's sins, an early grave; : 'Nis worth, who, in his mightiest hour, . A bauble held the pride of power, • Spurned at the sordid lust'of pelf, And served his Albion for herself; 'Who, when the frantic crowd amain Strained at subjeaion's bursting rein, • ("Per their wild mood full conquest Raised, The pride he would not crugh restrained, Showed their fierce zeal a worthier cause, And brought the freeman's arm to aid the freeman's laws. Nadst thou but lived, though stripp'd of powey, A watchman on the lonely tower, Thy thrilling trump had rous'd Outland ' When fraitd or danger were at hand ; IT thee, as by the beacon light, OW Pilots had keptcourseariet At some proud cotter:in, though alcute. t hy strength had prbpp'd the tott'ring Throne.

With more than mortal powers endowed, How high they soared above the crowd Their's was no common party race, • jostling by dark intrigue for place; ,Like fabled gods, their mighty war Shook realms and nations in its jar; Beneath each banner proud to stand, Looked up the noblest of the land, Till through the British world were known► The names of Pit r and Fox alone. Spells of such force no wizard grave E'er framed in dark Thessalian cave, Though his could drain the ocean dry, And force the planets from the sky. These spells are spent, and, spent with these, The wine of life is'on the lees. Genius, and taste, and talent gone, For ever tombed beneath the stone, Where—taming thought to huitian pride !-- The mighty chiefs sleep side by side. Drop upon Fox's grave the tear, 'Twill trickle to his rival's bier: O'er PITT'S the:motimful requiem sound, And Fox's shall , the notes rebound. The solemn echo stems to cry,— " Here let their discord with them die ; " Speak not for those a separate doom, " Whom Fate made brothers in the tomb, " But search the land of living men, of Where wilt thou find 'their like nen ?" Rest, ardent spirits I till the cries Of dying Nature bid you rise; Not even your Britain's groan* can pierce The leaden silence of your hearse: Then, 0 how impotent and vain This grateful tributary strain; Though not unmarked from Northern clime, Ye heard the Border Minstrel's rhime : His Gothic harp has o'er you rung; The bard you deign'd to praise, your deathless names has sung. The RANAII of Gonup, by a recent Treaty with the India Company, has agreed that three batta lions of Sepoys shall be permanently stationed in the Gohud territories, to be paid by the RAMAH at the rate of 25,000 rupees per month for each battalion, and in the event of failure in such payment, he Company is authorised to called the revenues of 'the pountry. Several forts have been demolished, .and. the works of Guahor, the head-quarters of the 'subsidiary force, have.been strengthened. Accohnts from India so late as the middle of No :vethber 'state, that a difference has arisen between HOLKAR and the. Bhurtpore Rajah, respeeting a sun* of money advanced by the former to enable 'the 'latter to take the field against the British army - in the late war : the sum in question amounted to five lacks of rupees : HOLKAR contends that it was advanced as a loan : the Rajab that it was given as a subsidy in consideration of his taking part in the k war. ' The following Letter was transmitted to Captain D'Auvattose,, the day before his departure, on the part of the Magistrates of Heligoland " The account of your Excellency's departure having been confirmed by the honour of your per sonal communication, we beg leave to address you, and to assure you, that we, as well as every one on this island, feel tiffetted in losing your Excellency as their Governor, in whom every good and loyal qua lity was combined, which could be desirable for a person who filled so eminent a situation. We feel incapable of expressing our regret at seeing you de part ; your memory will j)e blessed, and always live in us and In our children. " If any one of those your Excellency it now going to leave, has ever given you 'cause of displeasure, let not the reeolle6liou thereof hinder you from exert ing your interest for the good of this small Island, which, fot the present, is completely cut off from all resources except what it receives under the ge nerout proteetion of his Britanuic Majesty's Govern went. " Your Excellency is perfeetlY acquainted with our present distressed situation ; your known bene volence will, we are satisfied, represent the same 'to your Government, which, in its wisdom, will find out means to relieve our minds 'from that anxiety which we at present labour under, particularly for those incapable of working. " Allow us then once more to solicit a continu ance of your 'Excellency's proteCtion, and to thank you for all your kindness to us, Our prayers and thoSe of our children will be dire&ed to Heaven, and may its blessings attend you wherever you may be dire6led to go by his Dritannic Majesty's Govern ment, in reward for the manner in which . your Ex cellency has filled the situation you are just now called , from, and which we ore, however, happy to find, is to be filled by Lieutenant-Colonel HAMM-. TON,. whose goodness of heart, just and amiable .qualities, insure us the continuance of a wise admi nistration. We shall never cease to be, " Your Excellency's most dutiful, most obliged, " And very humble Servants, (Signed by the Magistrates, Aldermen, &c.) g* To his Excellency Capiain D' AuvERGNE, Governor of Heligoland." On Saturday a letter was received from Poole, dated St. Michael's, Jan.. 26. It states, that the Governor of the Western I s l es had givendiredions for their surrender to the British, on the appearance of an adequate force, and en the same conditions as those agreed to at Madeira. All goods of Britiih. manufaianre are to be received, on the payment of certain specified duties, with the exception of soap and tobacco, which are prohibited. Cottons and woollens are to pay an equal duty. It is reported that an Embargo . has been laid on all Vessels in the Ports of Flanders and Holland, to cover the equipment of the Fleet fitting out in the Scheldt. One of Admiral BuisEJ.L.'s Cruixers lately looked into Flushing, but did not discover any par ticular armament there. Two large Ships, sup posed to have dropped down from Antwerp during the present month, Were equipping, but were not in a condition for Sea. i,.'Ottient was reconnoitred on the 7th inst. at which time the two Line•of•battic Ships there were not in a copdition for Sca.' Maim,. Fss. 2,-.---Thursday last, six men con cerned in the Mader of a soldier of the Louth Mi litia, in Charleville,. on Sunday night, the 7th in stant, were sent under a strong military ecort from that town to Cork, to abide their trial at the ensu ing assizes ; one of. them 'has turned King's Evi dence, and implicated the other five. Through the vigilant and prompt exertions of the. Rev. Mr. DUNN, Sovereign, these culprits have, been brought to justice, and aided by Col. FORTESQUE, Command ing Officer, the town of Charleville has been pre served from that disorder which might be expeded from the comrades of the unfortunate murdered soldier. KEDIBLE was to have performed his favorite ells raeler of Hamlet this evening, but he is so much indisposed by a feverish affe&ion, that it is not like ly that he will soon be able to visit theatrical boards. The Comic Opera of The IP oodmart was repre sented on Saturday, at Covent-garden, with great applause. It was succeeded by the new Musical Piece of Who *ins P or, The Ifidoul s Choice; which is likely to prove the most popular Farce that has been seen for many years. \ It is not wonderful that a Centaur should have been introduced in the Opera House, since it has long abounded in every thing repugnant to nature and common sense. We hear of no motv meetings of the N o blem e n and Gentlemen who lately assembled for the purpose of building a new Opera House, and we trust that reflection has convinced thee of the extreme tblly of such ,an undertaking in tire present state dc the Country. Let them rather meet for the purpose of encouraging British arts ,and talents, ond then we shall be in no want of foreign assistance, which is equally disgraceful and.pernicious. To-morrow week the State Lottery begins Draw ing ; and as there are no Capital Prizes fixed' for any distant days, those who purchase before the Draw ing begins have an evident advantage over those who buy after, as all the capitals maybe drawn the first day. T. Bisit, therefore, advises the Public to purchase as early as possible at his old-established Offices, No. 4, Cornhill, and g, Charing-Cross, where 38 Capital Prizes were Shared and Sold in the last year, including tw o Priz e s of ao,oool.—Priies paid on demand. The •house and appendages of Peerless-pool, let on lease, 60 years .ago, by the Governots of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, at 171. per 'annum, ex pired a few days since, and another has been granted, at the astonishingly improved rent of 6001. On Saturday —WINING , a principal shopman of Messrs. RUNDELL • and BRIDGE, Jewellers, in Ludgate-street, was apprehended under a warrant lions the LORD MAYOR, charged with having robbed their extensive property of various quantities of plate and other articles, and fraudulently 'receiving the amount of 'bills from various of their respectable customers, to the amount of several hundred pounds: he confessed his guilt, and permitted the LORD MAYOR'S Officers to search his elegant house, No. 40, in Southampton-row, Bloomsbury, where some of the property was found. He was committed to the Pountry Counter, and was to be re-examined at the Mansion-house this day. A young Gentleman in the army, and the son of an Officer of rank, made an attempt to put a period to his existence on Saturday morning, at his apart ments, in Mortimer-street. The people of the bowie. were alarmed, at an early hour, by the report of a pistol, and on a young man who slept in the house, or the name of Irvin, going into the bed-room of. the Officer, he found him loading the pistol it second time, with his hand bleeding copiously. lie had, it appeared, fastened the pistol to the sacking, at the foot of the bed, and a string,' which was tied to the' trigger, was brought round to the bed-post, .which was pulled whilst the affilidted person stood before. the muzzle. 'A ball had passed through the mantle shelf, in a direction parallel with the foot of the bed stead, the pistol having been removed by the pull ing of the trigger. The young man, it appeared, had returned to his apartments at five o'clock in the 'morni ng , f rom a gaming,house in St. Anne's: parish. A. tire happened, early on Saturday • morning, in, the Conservatory, at Cutfnells, in Hampshire; which entirely destroyed that part of the building, but no one was hurt, and the fire, by most extraordinary exertions of the neighbours of all descriptions, was fortunately got under, before the house, or any part of the furniture, received the slightest nijnry, al though the library opens into the conservatory. As many of the books, cximptsing the' larg e an d very valuable colleation left to Mr. Rosa by the S late Earl of MARCHUONT, as could be moved, while the tire was raging, were carried out of the house, but none were damaged. On Thursday morning a most dreadful fire broke out in the Manor-house of Lilly, near Linton, the seat of JOHN SOWBRUY, Esq. which entirely eoni sumed the ;Jame, with the greater part of the furni ture. SMITHFIELD MARKET, Fas. 29.

I Cinay indeed be said that the resources of Russia are great. ' er than those of Austria, and her credit, from tleepottettiality with which for Mer loans have been diecherged, better este- . blished: But here we must reniark the difference between • loan negotiated with individuals, and one borrowed (tor such would be the elled of the proposed guarantee/ from another State. In the one.case the hope of raising future supplivs hi the same way must depend on the Will which is observed in the engagements entered into respecting 'them. W ncre the debt is to fall on another Power, in the event of any litter , ruPtion of ff - e 3 atahiP between the two Governments, anti *till more in the possibility (I trust very improbable case) of an ailual rupture between them, the desire of distressing an ern. my may be lelt more strongly than the obligations of etiod faith; at the same time that the violation of that principle is not so certainly productiveot future disadvaittegei An individual who has no objet hut pecuniary .ork ) c m ; r i o i m tit t 'w t il it l not again trust to promises which have Dee r) b may not unreasonably be presumed, that as a t;flyernineht does not contract engagements of this nature wii iout having acme political interest of its own involved in them, the re. currenee of a sim i lar interest may induce it to overlook the failure of termer engagements. lie addition to all this, en a general principle . of national policy, it would not be.wilie, whatever may be our reliance on the honour, the good faith, and steady friendship of Russia, to implicate ourselv es i n an arrangement, which. dour present OA uuderstundiii should at any time cease, inight'enable that Power, in a moment of great difficulty, to throw upon us the additional burthen of so largeatt annual taaat on as that I have already stated. I have dwelt so much at length on the reasone which must operate conclusively against eemonapliance with this request, in order that, your Lordship may be fully apprized of the pro, priory of the cleteimination winch has be, n adopted, and of the necessity of its being steadily adhered to. Every tisciliti that can be given to any use Russia can make of her own ere. dit, in this the only remaining money market in Europe, will be attindect. In the regotianonel the loan formerly raised by that Power in flollatid, similar,diftleulties were experienced, and they ere understood to have been obviated by obtaining the security, for which a large price wes paid, of merchants Of well-established credit, such as Alex. Hope and CO. of Ain. sterdam, and others, 'There scents to be no reason why a sic milar expedient should not be resorted to now. end if flu, terms should be worse than is to be wished, thin is an evil Winch must be ,suhinitted to f nor is it reasonable that, in order to avoid this dilliculty, 4inalices of this country 'should, after 'fourteen years of unparalleled exertion, be sub. jeded to so great as,. additional burtheit. The pet:twisty embarrassments of the moment are the umiavoicisble result of • the present usmfortunate State of public alleles, and eveu this country itself, great as its credit and its resources are, is not altogether exempt trout them. In the course of the discussioint which have taken place 'on this subject, it has been suggested that ao additional cility might be afforded by such arrangerneuts ter better securing to the creditors the receipt of the interest iy Eng. land; and an idea has occurred, that by a suppression of the customs on i3riti.h merchanilize imported into Russia, and the imposition of an equivalent export duty here, this might be effectri ti separate account being kept of the duties so raised, and their strict application carefully provided for, by jxrying over the w hole, of them as fast as they are colleetect, into tne hands of Commissioners or Trustees, who might be compelled by law faithfully to apply, the whole to Ines* pm poses., only to which •i; would bc• se approprlired.— Th o ugh it does nnl went probable that the pi%•scitt plan of raising a loan will' le; pursued much farther, it may be use ful to make someeinquily upon this subject, With a view ;o any future demos is of the, same nature, throw our till! idea to M. Bulberg aS one Which 11, s been suggested by an eXtreine desire to find some mode of , tie ooieet which is in view, without subject hie this coedit) , to sticritiers which cannot, in justice, be expected from her. Your Lord ship will therefore endeavour to obt a in the most accurate te e formation of the amount and sources of the Revision Re. venue, or the moddot its cellectiun, of the 21fliaiiit of public debt to which it is pledged, and on whet branches of •the revenue the payinzatt of such debt and the interest h secured, and particularly of the possibility of any such transfer' of duties as that vehicti I have above suggestcd.

Nicole) indeed, in a convereation this Morning with Lord Cirenvilie and myself, threw out some biota to fine effect, and even asked it it was no longer the intentiun ..fthie teouotie to make common cause with Russia ? To Mt the answer is obvious and eaq. A Nitwit to comply with are. quest unreaeoneble in itself' smut injualis to this Country ought scut to give irsit to idly suspicion. Your Lordship wilt find op difficulty in pr. clueing abund ant proofs trout time is Ing's past conduct ; and yint will re. peat i m the, strongest 1113Iiiiiit,Itosh essureireisol his Majesty's earnest desire to contribute to the utmost of his power to the support of an Ally, with whom, whether in peace or war, the King finds his own intetests se closely connected'; but it is not to be supposed that #ll6 great and powerful an empire as Russia can tail to Mitt in its own resources abundant means tor its own defence. Should an inability to do this be avowed, it would lesee little hope of success in a war, the whole bunhen'of which merit then rest upon England.
